    Do you have to get the Regular saver? I only want the "1st Account" they do, not the regular saver.



    No you don't have to take it. I was being slightly pedantic. In as much, If you don't take the 6% you couldn't use it as a reason for leaving. If you do take it , it is fixed for 12 months so by the time it matures you would be outside the parameters for the leaving £100.

    I opened my account with them around this time two years ago and I didn't deposit bang on £1000 but with the amount of transfers I did in and out of the account, I apparently met this criteria and was given the £100. So you should be fine, just put it in and withdraw it the same

    Think about it for a moment...unless the weekly paid among us are earning >£52K per annum then they'd be excluded from the offer. And do you think they'd want to exclude those on such high salaries but paid weekly? No, didn't think so. :)
